All Way Stop Request at Grand Avenue and Muscatel Avenue SUMMARY The City of Rosemead has received a resident request to evaluate the intersection of Grand Avenue and Muscatel Avenue and determine if the intersection qualifies for the installation of an all-way stop. The resident expressed concern for vehicles speeding through the area along Grand Avenue and has requested that an all-way stop or other traffic calming measures be installed at this location. In response to this request and on behalf of the City, engineering staff completed a traffic review to determine if an all-way stop was warranted to be installed at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Muscatel Avenue, and recommended appropriate measures. After a thorough review of existing field and traffic conditions and per the guidelines in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD), California Vehicle Code (CVC), and based on engineering judgement, it was determined that the intersection of Grand Avenue and Muscatel Avenue does not meet the requirements for the installation of an all-way stop. However, it was determined that this area along Grand Avenue and Muscatel Avenue would benefit from the installation of other traffic calming measures. CEQA: Not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Traffic Commission recommend the following actions: 1. INSTALL ADDITIONAL RED CURB: Install 20-ft of additional red curb at the southeast corner of the intersection at Muscatel Avenue and Grand Avenue. a. Install 20-Ft of additional red curb at the southeast corner of Grand Avenue and Muscatel Avenue, along the south side of Grand Avenue. Install the red curb east of the existing 10- ft of red curb adjacent to the fire hydrant, for a total of 30-ft of red curb. b. It is important to note that parking is allowed along Grand Avenue east of the location where red curb would be installed. Installing red curb along this stretch of curb will not affect parking for residents living in the area, as there is plenty of parking east and south of the intersection. 2. INSTALL RED CURB: Install 30-ft of red curb at the southwest corner of the intersection at Muscatel Avenue and Grand Avenue. Page 2 of 3 ROSEMEAD TRAFFIC COMMISSION MEETING August 1, 2024 a.
